Prediction

Bengals 31, Steelers 17

Moneyline

PASS.

The odds are better on the spread for the Bengals playing a Pittsburgh team that has faced injuries and struggles throughout the season.

Against the spread

BET BENGALS -3 (-105).

While the Bengals will be without their top receiver in Chase, expect Higgins and WR Tyler Boyd to step up. Cincinnati is 6-3-1 ATS it its last 10 games and 3-1 ATS in its last 4 road games. Pittsburgh has failed to cover the spread in its last 3 games, including its last 2 home games. It has not scored more than 18 points in its past 5 games and will not be able to keep up with a versatile Bengals offense.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 38 (-110).

Cincinnati has hit the Over in each of its last 3 weeks and has scored 34 points twice in that span. While the Steelers have a notoriously bad offense, especially with QB Kenny Pickett sidelined, Cincinnati will have to carry the load which it is more than capable of doing.
